Breaking RnIkY HO Sns.

A correspondent of the Allentown
(Pen ~ Nel0S, d. N. Kern, of Sinners
V lie, writes: Some time ago, while
driving through Lehigh county, met a
man who had a very balky horse. have
been so lucky that | have never had a
balky horse, but if had one / would
know half a dJzen ways how to star
HIM.
First-Pat the horse on the neck, ex-
anime him carefully, first one de, then
the other; if you can get handful OF
gras' give it to him, and spe k encour-
agingly to him. Thea jump into the
wagon and give the word go, and he
will genera ly obey.
Second-Taking the horse out of the
shafts and turning him around in a cir
Gle until he is giddy will generally start
start him.
Third-Another way to cure a balky
horse is, place your hand over his nose
and shut off his wind until he wants
to go.
Fourth-Then, again, take couple of
turns of stout Irvine around the fore legs
just below the knee, tight enough Tor
the horse to feel it; tie in bow knot; at
the first click he will probably go dancing
off. After going short di lance you
can get out and remove the string, to
prevent injury to the tendons.
FiIth-Again, you can try the fol-
lowing: Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs, and tie it by c,rd
to the saddle girth.
Sixth-The last remedy know is a.
follows: Tie st ing around the horses
ear. close to the head; this will divert
his attention and start him.

A Sheep's Big jump.

Abram Cretis, of Grant County, w.
Va, sends to the South Branch Gazette
the following account of remarkable
leap lately made by a sheep. He says
he was out the other day after a bunch
of sheep belonging to Amber Ia per,
which ranged on the mountain near
Petersburg Gap. Six sheep ran around
the rocks over the precipice, and in
order to get them out the shepherd dog
was dropped over the rocks to where
they were conc called. They all came
out but one, which appea ed to be
frightened at the unexpected appearance
of the shepherd dog, and leaped down..the
chasm and landed $50 to l75 feet below,
strange to say, unin ured, except breath
less for time. We watched it in its
flight and found that it passed the tops
of several tall pines, leaving little tufts
of wool as mcmentoes, and appeared to
light in a top, when it was thrown back
against the mountain and there struck
another top, and SO on until it reached
the ground

Too Much for the Apaches.

"They tell me a funny story about
Geronimo" said man from Arizona at
the Palmer House yesterday. ''While
the Apaches were raiding the ranches in
the foot hills of New Mexico they cap
tured white man who had false teeth,
glass eye and cork leg. The unfor-
tunate fellow was dragged into the hills
where the Indians were encamped and
strapped to a tree TO die. just before
dusk Geronimo happened to pass the
prisoner, who had succeeded in releas-
ing one of his arms from the leather
strap which bound him to the tree.
"UghP grunted the big Apache
chief, punching the white man with the
muzzle of his Winchester.
"The prisoner thrust his fingers into
his mouth, removed his teeth, and
shook them in the face of the Apache.
This done, he replaced the plates as
quickly as he had removed them, and
plucking out his glass eye, began pol
ishing it on his knee. Geronimo had
seen good many things in his life, but
the sight of man removing his teeth
and eyes at will was enough to make the
savage's hair stand on end. Without
waiting to strip the prisoner of his
clothes, as was their custom, the Apa-
ches released the nervy fellow, and,
putting him astride horse, fairly
begged him to leave the camp. The
settler needed no second invitation.
Selling the animal by the name, he rode a
few rods out into the opening, when, to
the horror of the savages who had been
Watching his flight, he pulled off his
cork leg and waved it above his head.
1t is said on good authority that this is
the first instance on record where the
superstition of an Apache got the better
of his knife" - Chicago Herald.

How Valentines Are Made.

A factory in this city has, during the
past ten months, turned out 10, 900, 000
comic and 5000, 900 sentimental valen-
tines. The many operations through
which toy books and valentines pass be-
fore they are ready to be delivered to the
retailer are interesting. The first floor
of the factory is occupied by paper cut.
ting and enclosing machines. The pa
per on which valentines are printed is
received from the manufacturer direct,
and is not in condition for use. 1t must
be cut in pieces, AZ 1-2 feet, and on which
are stamped sixteen comic valentines.
After being cut the paper is taken to the
second floor and printed. Three hun.
bred out Ct the four hundred employees
in the factory are women and girls.
While the majority of the work is done
by skilled labor, some departments are
operated wholly by mae merry.
On the sixth or top floor half dozen
artists draw the pictures used in valen.
tines and toy books. After drawing
is made and photographed the negative
is coated with solution and exposed to
the sun. The negative is again coated,
this time with photographic ink, and
placed in basin of water barely deep
enough to cover it. The ink is washed
off, except that part of the plate on which
the drawing has been photographed. The
negative is then ready for the etcher.
The etching process is too well known to
bear repeating here. After the drawing
has been etched on zinc plate it is ready
for the press. The operation by which
rough zinc is made smooth is interesting.
The zinc is placed under movable emery
papers, which are changed half hourly.
These papers vary from hard to soft. The
constant friction of the emery wears away
the zinc, so that in time it becomes as
smooth as glass. Seven papers, differing
in quality and thickness, are used in thu
operation. BROOKLYN, EdGle.

SNOW FLOWERS.

Iawoke one winter morning,
And l found my garden white
With host of shining blossoms
That had not been there at night
All the barren ground was covered
And the naked branches quite.
For the angels in the night time.
Flying softly to and fro,
Bearing to the gates of heaven
Spirits from the earth below,
Had let fall upon my garden
Lovely garlands-flowers of snow.

Their Own Fault,

Many farmers complain of what they
call their hard lot. They work hard,
they say, all their lives and yet never get
ahead any. They dress poorly and
live poorly, and never spend q
cent for any new or improved thing,
no matter if it promises to bring
back hundred fold, When prices are
high they have nothing to sell and their
tub is always bottom up when it rains.
To illustrate at the present time the price
of strictly fresh laid eggs in Boston at
retail is from 40 to so cents per dozen,
and it would be interesting and in
tructive to know how may farmers in
this State are able to take advantage of
these high prices. The following letters
show what can be accomplished by in
telligent and enterprising farmers.
